...Asparaginase. The story of L-asparaginase traces back to a 1953 observation by Cornell University's Dr. John G. Kidd that serum from normal, healthy guinea pigs killed some-but by no means all-types of cancer in mice, without harming the animals' other tissues. It took Cornell's Dr. John...
...memory was for the prosecution, it clouded under defense crossexamination. Shaw's lawyers established that Russo had once been under psychiatric care for 18 months, that he had been hypnotized three times by the prosecution physician and that he had been injected with sodium pentothal, the "truth serum," to help him "remember" details. With the defense hammering away, he was unable to recall exactly when or where he met Ferrie, how and when he had arrived at Ferrie's apartment the night he heard of the "plot," how he had traveled home afterward. Shaw's law yers...
...introduce antibody against the lymphocytes themselves. So thymus glands, spleens and lymph nodes are removed from human cadavers, and the extract is injected into horses. The horses' rejection mechanism goes to work and makes particles active against the human lymphocytes. The horses are later bled, antilymphocyte serum is extracted, and may be further refined to a globulin fraction. At the University of Colorado, a team headed by Dr. Thomas Starzl has performed 19 successful transplants since last June; given antilymphocyte globulin, the patients have got along well on sharply reduced doses of azathioprine and prednisone...
...Couldn't the pooled substance be used to make a vaccine that would work on victims of various forms of cancer? Cancerous cells were thereupon collected from patients all over the country and put through an extraction process. The remaining protein was combined with gamma globulin from rabbit serum in the hope of producing an all-purpose vaccine. The trouble with this imaginative theory is that so far there is no accepted evidence for the existence of such widely effective antigens in unrelated cancers...
...help of her hirelings, a butler (Peter Jaszi) and a murderous Stillman nurse (Erica Ivers). The pair arranges the deaths of the roommate and girl friends, deaths which are duly certified by Stillman doctors and reported in the CRIMSON. In fact, however, through the agency of a potent serum they do not die at all but are transformed into zombies in the Francis Ave. house. I shall reveal no more of the plot which is fun and has its share of suspense...
